Problems/Comments

In June 1989, 200 gallons of diesel fuel were released from one of two 3,000-gallon above ground storage tanks at the Combined Station Tower (CST) Facility. In 1992 a small amount of transmission oil was spilled from the radar's rotation mechanism on the ground below the Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) Tower. Additionally, several stained soil areas were noted below the ASR tower on the east side of Building 411. The CST facility is located very close to the ASR tower, so these areas are being tracked as one site. Reportedly there were two 3,000-gallon above ground storage tanks located on the west side of Building 400 until about 1989. Contaminated material was reportedly removed from the AST spill location. ADOT&PF characterized 4 borings on the north end of (adjacent) Lot 7B in 2004 and received a letter from DEC that no further action was needed in this area. 23/25/2011- The 2010 UVOST Site Investigation Report indicates that DRO is below cleanup levels throughout the site. RRO exceeds cleanup levels at two points, however the samples were processed from an asphalt-like gravel. A Cleanup Complete determination was granted for this site in a DEC letter dated June 1, 2011.
